How to create a scene.

1\. You first will choose your image. The below images are recommended.

2\. This step is to create a palette that best suits the image. For example, in my scene, ([A mysterious glow](http://www.pixeljoint.com/pixelart/44610.htm)) I picked 8 colors. I tried to keep it dark and mysterious, so I chose very grey-ish colors. Make sure to take your time on this step, bad colors will always mean a bad image.

3\. The next step is to _Sketch_ the scene. Remember this is a sketch, you may/will change things on the sketch later. A common sketch is using white as a background, and black as the lines. Sketches are sloppy, yet still look somewhat like the image. Using A Mysterious Glow as an example, this is the sketch for it.


4\. The next step is to clean up your sketch. Make it more into line art. This is the cleaned version of my example.
